Police have arrested a 35-year-old man, Olusola Adewale, one of the inmates who escaped from Ado-Ekiti Prisons last November and two others in connection with the resurgence of kidnapping in Ekiti State. The suspects were arrested for the recent abduction of an 80-year-old woman, Mrs Rose Aina. The two other suspects are Owolabi Ojo (48) and Adedayo Popoola (48).
The octogenarian was kidnapped at Ilogbo-Ekiti in Ido/ Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State last week by gunmen. About 6.30am yesterday, the police Anti-Kidnapping Squad freed Mrs Aina at Ita-Ogbolu town in Ondo State.
While parading the suspects yesterday at the command’s headquarters, the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Mr Etop James, said two of the suspects were arrested at Ita-Ogbolu, while the victim’s driver, who allegedly gave clue on how the woman could be kidnapped, was arrested at Ilogbo-Ekiti.
